RESUlIING WORK.
The Interstate Commission Considers Two
Cases of Alleged Extortionate CHARGES.

Cases of Alleged Extortionate Charges.
WASHINGTON, October 12.-The interstate
commerce commission resumed its session
to-day. All of the commissioners were
present. The first case was that of Million
Evans against the Oregon Railway and Nav
igation company, in which Evans alleges
that charge of $s1 made by the
company for transporting car from
Walla Walla to Portland was
extortionate and prays that the company be
required to refund half of that sum. The
railroad company maintain that the charge
was not extortionate, as the road between
the points named has extraordinary grades
and curves, is frequently INSTRUCTED by snow
and earth and is operated at great expense.
Argument was also heard in another case
of like character, that of William Heard vs..
the same company, wherein it is stated that
the railroad company made an excessive
charge for the conveyance of wheat between
Walla Walla aud Portland.
The proceedings this morning related to
the cost of operating the road and the defni-
ton of an extortionate charge, and printed
arguments will be presented hereafter.
